Remi Allen appointed Women's Head Coach
Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce that Remi Allen has been appointed as the new Women’s First Team Head Coach.
The 33-year-old joins the club after taking charge of fellow-Barclays Women’s Championship side London City Lionesses from March until the end of the 2023/24 season.
Despite being her first full-time Head Coach role, she succeeded in the task of lifting London City out of a relegation battle as her life in the dugout began with three consecutive wins that included triumphs against two promotion contenders.
She has also spent time at international level as Assistant Coach for England Women’s Under-23s, as part of the England Elite Coach Programme.
Her coaching journey follows a 16-year playing career, with a wealth of experience across the Women’s Super League and Championship that concluded most recently at Aston Villa and Birmingham City.
“I am absolutely delighted to be on board with such an incredible football club.” Allen said, upon joining Southampton.
“It’s such an exciting time to be here, the club has huge ambition and the group of players here are such a talented group.
“I can’t wait to get started on the journey, it’s going to be an exciting season ahead.”

“Remi is an exciting, young coach with both recent playing experience and a passion to succeed in the early stages of her transition to management.
“She brings energy and fresh ideas that I believe our players will thrive on, and I look forward to seeing her begin working with the team ahead of the new season.”
